(It doesn't have, as a design objective, the maximization of profit for their online store, or any requirement to "sync" to one.) Kobo's user interface (Nickel) is highly integrated with its database and spends considerable resources trying to maintain it without corruption. But as I said "it is a matter of opinion", and the good thing is that you can have both installed and working on your Kobo device at the same time. There are some of us (not those here) who have come to feel that you don't need Nickel, to enjoy your Kobo.

I have looked at KOReader and to be honest it seems like a lot of work just to read a book.
As I normally only have about 10 books on my device at any one time I don't have a problem with keeping track of what is on there, and what I've read. I normally read two or three books and then replace them with a few more removing the read ones.
Also as I am unlikely to ever view anything other than an epub on my Kobo I think the standard reader is going to be fine for me.
I'm a great believer in the old adage 'If it ain't broke - don't fix it!'
